Introduction to the Vertebrata
And their relatives

1. Animals with a hollow dorsal nerve cord, notochord, and pharyngeal gill slits. 2. Brain encapsulated, or at least partially so, by a cartilaginous or bony cranium. Vertebrae, associated with or replace notochord. First duplication of genome (1R).3. Loss of vertebrae.4. Mineralized bone. Second duplication of the genome (2R).5. Head shield of dermal bone; bony scales.6. Paired spines or fins.7. Neurocranium encloses brain dorsally.8. Mouth formed by articulated jaws.9. Teeth erupt from dental lamina.10. Paired fin radials barely extend beyond body.11. Gills covered by an operculum.12. Pectoral and pelvic girdles anchored to vertebral column.13. Digits reduced to 5 or fewer; radius as long as the ulna. Operculum lost.14. Premaxilla less than 2/3 skull width.15. Egg with an outer amnion membrane.16. One temporal fenestra formed by the squamosal and jugal bones.17. Large post-temporal fenestra; suborbital foramen in palate.18. Two temporal fenestrae; upper one formed by the squamosal and postorbital bones.19. Trunk ribs single-headed, end of humerus robust.

Vertebrate Development

Defining VertebratesThey posses the following characters at some point in their lives:• Pharyngial gill slits• Notochord• Hollow dorsal nerve cord• Vertebrae

Distribution of living groups of vertebrates
![Page 7: Introduction to the Vertebrata](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568164f6550346895dd7623f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Myxinomorphithe hagfish
A cladogram based on Benton (2005), shows the agnathan taxa as a paraphyletic group. Myllokunmingida and Mixini, considered classes here, are sisters within a clade, the Myxinomorphi, that is sister to the Petromyzontomorphi (lampreys). Together, the lampreys and hagfishes form the Cyclostomata. Myllokunmingiida is in red because it has no extant members.

Hagfish
• The minimal vertebrate• Hagfish, cyclostomes without vertebrae

Petromyzontomorphithe lampreys
A cladogram that illustrates the position of the two classes of the Petromyzontomorphi in the jawless fishes is based primarily on Benton (2005). However, Petromyzontida (the lampreys) are presented as sisters to the Euphaneropsids as proposed by Janvier (2008a). Here, they are shown as a sister group to the hagfish and basal within the Vertebrata in a clade called Cyclostomata (the round mouths). Euphaneropsida is in red because it has no living members.

ChondrichthyesSharks, Skates, Rays, & Chimeras
A cladogram of the gnathostome fishes according to Benton (2005). The two major clades of the Chondrichthyes: Euchondrocephali and Elasmobranchii both have extant taxa.
1) Jaws fused to cranium; 2) jaws not fused; 3) multiple, separate gill slits; 4) no anal fin

Vertebrates
• OVER CLASSIFIED…
• Why?
![Page 40: Introduction to the Vertebrata](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568164f6550346895dd7623f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Vertebrates
• OVER CLASSIFIED– Degree of difference between orders of birds
DOES NOT APPROACH that observed between orders of insects!!!
![Page 41: Introduction to the Vertebrata](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568164f6550346895dd7623f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Vertebrates comprise a group within Chordates
– Hollow dorsal nerve cord– Notochord– Pharyngeal Gill Slits
![Page 42: Introduction to the Vertebrata](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568164f6550346895dd7623f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Other Chordates:– Cephalochordates
– Tunicates

Evo-Devo• Literally means evolution by means of changes
in development• Discovery of HOX genes in the 1980s• These are genes that regulate the on-off
switch for genes in development and determine timing
• Arranged in linear arrays that correspond to anterior-posterior axis

Major Events in the Evolution of the Vertebrates
• The evolution of jaws
Entelognathus (419 MYA), Zhu et al. 2013. Nature. 502:188-193. Earliest known fish with jaws. These were more similar to jaws of bony fishes that sharks
